Description
I’m trying to use littlevgl to read an image from SDcard and display it on an ILI9341. No matter what I do, I run into memory problems.
What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?
- ESP32, TTGO-T1, chip is of type ESP32D0WDQ6 (revision 1), having 4M of memory
- The TTGO has an on board SD card reader, connected to HSPI
- ILI9341 (320x240) is connected to VSPI (changed menuconfig, but also some lines in disp_spi_init to replace HSPI by VSPI and prevent a DMA channel conflict with the SD card (would be nice to add this to menuconfig too!)
- Using latest version of ESP-IDF
- Using latest version of littlevgl (esp32_ili9341) installed as ‘externals’ under my project
- Using CMake
- Both the screen and the SD card work well individually
- Images were converted to .bin using the online tool and stored at the SD card
What do you want to achieve?
I want to load a full screen .bin image and display it on the screen, and I want to learn how to solve memory problems in a more generic way. I can’t find a clear overview of the memory on the espressif site, what the capabilities are, and how to use it.
What have you tried so far?
- I have tried to change flash memory between 1M, 2M and 4M in menuconfig
- I have changed LV_MEM_SIZE in lv_conf.h (currently at 100U * 1024U)
- Tried different levels of LV_LOG_LEVEL (currently at LV_LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
Code to reproduce
Maybe there is something wrong with the code too. I’m a newbe.
lv_coord_t hres = lv_disp_get_hor_res(NULL);
lv_coord_t vres = lv_disp_get_ver_res(NULL);
wp = lv_img_create(lv_disp_get_scr_act(NULL), NULL);
lv_obj_set_protect(wp, LV_PROTECT_PARENT);
lv_obj_set_size(wp, hres, vres);
lv_obj_set_pos(wp, 0, 0);
lv_img_set_src(wp, "/sdcard/image2.bin");
lv_obj_set_hidden(wp, false);
lv_img_set_style(wp, LV_IMG_STYLE_MAIN, &style_wp);
lv_img_set_auto_size(wp, false);
PS
It is really a great framework. I really appreciate the elegance and all the hard work that was put into it. But I still need to learn a lot.
